For Your Baby Use The Mellin’s Food Method Of Milk Modification Unused Previously Glued To Page On Top Of Stamp 80% Original Gum Please Note That A Stain From The Glue Mark Used Shows Somewhat On The Front (Please Note That Stain, Marks, Creases And Other Imperfections Look Much Darker Because Of The Scan. I Do Not, Ever, Alter Scans!!) This American Poster Stamp Was Issued As A Promotional Label For Mellin’s Food, An Early Infant Formula Product Widely Advertised In The United States During The Late 19th And Early 20th Centuries. The Stamp Features A Sepia-Toned Photograph Of Two Young Girls, One Kissing The Other On The Cheek, Standing In A Grassy Outdoor Setting. The Image Is Captioned “Children Of Mrs. John C. Jacobi, Oklahoma City, Okla.,” Providing A Personal Testimonial And Lending Credibility To The Product. Below The Image, The Advertisement Reads In Bold Red Text: “For Your Baby Use The Mellin’s Food Method Of Milk Modification,” Promoting Mellin’s As A Scientifically Developed Supplement For Infant Nutrition. This Stamp Likely Dates To Around 1910 To 1915, When Such Personalized endorsements Were Common In Health-Related Advertising. A Horizontal Fold Line Is Clearly Visible Through The Center Of The Stamp But No Tears Or Stains Are Apparent. Visible Text (Rewritten In Sentence Form): Children Of Mrs. John C.
